How it works

How to make a text QR code

  1. Type or paste your text. Shorter text makes a simpler code.
  2. Style the code and download it.
  3. Scan it to check the text shows correctly, including any special characters.

What a text QR code contains

A text QR code stores your words directly, encoded as UTF-8, so Hindi, Gujarati, Tamil and other scripts work on modern phones. Nothing is looked up online when someone scans it.

Tips for codes that scan

  • For longer content, link to a web page with a URL code instead.

Where people use them

FAQ

Common questions

Still curious? Drop us a line and a human will get back to you.

Do people need internet to read a text QR code?

No. The text is stored inside the code and appears on screen as soon as it's scanned.

Does it support Hindi and other languages?

Yes. Text is encoded as UTF-8, so Hindi, Gujarati, Tamil and other scripts work on modern phones.

How much text fits?

This studio takes up to 500 characters. QR codes can hold more, but long text makes dense codes that are hard to scan.
